Cheyenne Laramie County Public Health brings WIC back to organization

CHEYENNE – Cheyenne Laramie County Public Health is welcoming the Women, Infant and Children clinic back into their organization on Wednesday, July 10, after nearly a decade.

The WIC clinic will move from Cheyenne Regional Medical Center into the space formerly filled by Crossroads at the CLCPH office at 100 Central Ave. in Cheyenne.

WIC aims to safeguard the health of low-income women, infants and children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating and referrals to health care. Laramie County’s WIC clinic offers nutrition education, breastfeeding guidance, healthy food and other social services to pregnant women, mothers of babies up to 6 months old, mothers who are breastfeeding babies up to a year old and children up to the age of 5.

“We’re excited to have them rejoin Cheyenne Laramie County Public Health,” CLCPH Executive Director Kathy Emmons said. “This is a great opportunity to provide services in a one-stop model to help families access services more easily.”

WIC services can be accessed by making an appointment by calling 307-633-4000. They also accept walk-ins Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
